What began as a single-plot residence grew when the adjacent plot was added as a buffer and an outdoor landscape haven. Balconies enliven the facade, while a large central wall divides a hardscaped front court for parking from a lush, tropical back court with a shallow pool.

A subtle palette of wood, travertine and copper cladding sets texture against the white walls, pairing a contemporary sensibility with traditional Indian elements.
